Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 678: Black Dog and Ominous
Chapter 679 Black Dog and Ominous
"You speak first."
"You go first."
"Well, I think it's kind of silly for us to follow Katrina like that."
The two followed Katrina for a while in Diagon Alley. Albert looked at the girl standing in front of the window of the Lishen Bookstore not far away, and turned to Isobel beside him.
"I think so too." Isobel was relieved to see that his sister was fine.
"Then... let's go."
said, Albert walked towards Lishen Bookstore.
"Why are you here?"
Hearing the voice, Katrina turned her head to look at a man and a woman approaching, and the expression on her face suddenly became a little unnatural.
"Uh, I just forgot to tell you, I already have a "Monster Book of Monsters"." Albert raised his finger and pointed to the big iron cage in front of the bookstore window, which contained about a hundred copies of "Monster Books". The Monster Book of Monsters", said to Katrina, "Hagrid gave me one last semester."
The expression on the face of the bookstore manager who was wearing thick gloves and holding two "Yokai Books" in his hands suddenly changed. Our Monster Book" bites hard enough.
"Give me the book."
Albert took the "Youkai Book of Monsters" from the bookstore manager, which was still struggling, and stroked his finger lightly on the spine of the book, instantly making the "Yokai Book of Monsters" quiet.
When the manager saw this scene, his whole body became spartan in an instant, and he stood there stupidly, watching Albert hand over the "Yokai Book of Monsters" to Katrina, and then The list of books sent by the school was handed to him.
"The other two come." Albert's voice sounded in the ear of the bookstore manager.
"How did you... do it, these "Yokai Books of Monsters" have been making a lot of noise. I've been bitten nine times this morning." The bookstore manager said with a sad face.
"You should write and ask the professor of protection of magical creatures who ordered this book for the students." Albert looked at the mourning bookstore manager speechlessly and reminded: "The other party must have a way. Subduing these biting monster books will surely be willing to tell you what to do."
"Oh, it seems... That's right." The bookstore manager was stunned for a moment, his expression very embarrassing, because Albert made too much sense.
"With your fingers lightly stroking the spine of the Book of Monsters, you can easily subdue these books." Albert reminded kindly: "Remember to get a rope and tie the books first, and after a while It will come back to its original shape."
Soon after, the three walked out of Lihen Bookstore under the grateful eyes of the bookstore manager.
"I dare say, it's probably too much to subdue the "Yokai Book of Monsters" in his way."
Before leaving the Lishen Bookstore, Albert glanced at the iron cage, and there were still a lot of "Monster Books of Monsters" inside. It would be so easy to think of all the uniforms.
"Mrs. Morkin's robe shop seems to be on sale, does any of you need to buy a new robe?" Isobel said, looking at Katrina.
"No, I'll go to the pharmacy to refill the herbs later, and then go buy some quills, ink, and parchment paper. I'm pretty much the same here." Katrina really didn't want to walk with the two of them. like redundant.
"I need to buy some nuts for my owl at the Ella Owl store." Albert thought for a while, then continued: "However, we can drop by Florin's Cold Drinks and buy ice cream, I'll treat you to me. "
When the three of them passed by, they saw Harry Potter talking to Store Manager Florin, the savior who seemed to be doing his holiday homework often here.
"What flavor do you want?" Florin asked gently.
"Chocolate."
Katrina leaned over to the freezer and picked one she liked.
"Me too."
"Then three chocolate ice creams." Albert just reached out and took the money from his pocket and was about to pay when he heard Harry Potter's voice.
"Albert."
Actually, after seeing the three of them coming, Harry hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Is something wrong, Potter?" Albert asked sideways.
"That...you know ominous?" Harry asked hesitantly.
"Ominous?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly and asked back, "Do you mean that you predicted your own death from the crystal ball?"
"No, I met a black dog."
"Oh, a black dog? That's definitely not ominous, you're thinking too much."
Albert had no trouble guessing who the black dog was, and Blake probably didn't expect that he would scare Harry.
"Of course, if you think it's death, and you worry about it all day, maybe you'll frighten yourself to death one day." Albert reminded kindly, watching Harry's mouth gradually opening, " Frightening yourself is the scariest thing, because you think that's what it is, not what it is."
"I think Mr. Anderson makes a lot of sense."
Store manager Florin handed the ice cream to the three and said to Harry: "Most so-called fortune-tellers and prophets are actually liars, because there are very few wizards who have the ability to predict the future."
Katrina seemed happy eating ice cream, looking at Albert as if to say: This is a liar.
Albert wasn't embarrassed at all, he wasn't a liar, and he was thick-skinned enough to ignore Katrina's gaze.
He shrugged, and after saying goodbye to Harry, he headed over to the Eila Owl Store, which was a store that sold owls, where Albert bought Sheila's owl nuts.
After half an hour, all the three people needed to buy were quickly bought. Albert asked the two girls around him: "Do you still want to stroll around Diagon Alley?"
"How about you?"
Isobel looked at her sister, and if Katrina wanted to stay, she would stay with her and go home together.
"Forget it, let's go back!"
Katrina obviously doesn't want to stay here any longer. She knows that if she wants to stay and visit Diagon Alley, the other two will definitely stay with her. She has had enough of being caught between them. That nasty feeling.
After sending the McDoug sisters home, Albert leaves the wizarding world through the Leaky Cauldron.
Standing alone on a lively street, there is always an inexplicable sense of unreality.
Albert found a coffee shop nearby, ordered a cappuccino, and waited here for Herb to pick him up.
Herb didn't make him wait too long before he appeared at the door of the coffee shop.
“How about France?”
"Learn a lot of useful things, and..." Albert motioned for Herb to look at the ring on his left finger.
"The style is a bit ordinary." Herb wanted to complain about his son's vision.
"Mr. Lemay gave us the wedding ring. It is a magic ring made by goblins, which will never get dirty or rust." Albert explained casually.
"No?" Herb asked, tilting his head.
"No more." Albert looked at Herb speechlessly.
"I thought I could use some powerful magic through that ring." Herb looked a little disappointed, but he also knew the meaning of the ring.
"By the way, this is for you." He threw a package to Albert, which contained a cell phone.
"I can't use this thing over there!" Albert looked at the old phone and couldn't help asking, "How much is this thing?"
"It's not expensive!" Herb asked suspiciously: "Can't you play this thing over there?"
"I can't use it, I can't use electronic items, they will interfere with each other anyway, I remember saying it before." Albert handed the phone to Herb and said, "Give it to Nia!"
"Oh~IndoMTL.com~Okay!"
Herb put away his phone, started the engine, and chatted with Albert while driving.
"I have investigated the thing you mentioned. The situation in the colony is not bad. As for that country, it is considered very 'poor' now, but as you said, there are indeed many people in that country."
"This is a fast lane, if you want, join in, at least we won't have to worry about money in the future." Albert reminded: "Money will only get more and more The less valuable it is, it is not a precious metal like the wizard's Galleon, and it is not easy to depreciate."
"Are you really planning to stay in the wizarding world?" Herb frowned deeply, "Then what are you going to do with these industries in the future? I believe you may be able to fulfill your original wish and build a business empire. ."
"Isn't there Nia?" Albert said without hesitation: "Also, you can have another son, you are all young anyway."
"No, we're not young anymore, Nia doesn't have the skills you have." Herb shook his head and said, not talking about this matter, he thought that Albert would probably have a way to solve these problems.
Money, this stuff has never been considered too little.
